"Laura Roslin says she’s about change too, and so I guess her whole angle is ‘Watch out Quorum of 12 -- except for economic policy, health-care policy, food policy, Cylon policy, waste recycling policy and Gaius Baltar style politics -- we’re really going to shake things up in the fleet,'" Obama said today at a town hall meeting on the luxury yacht, Rising Star.

He then added, "That's not change. That's just calling the same thing something different. But you know, you can ... put lipstick on a Cylon; it's still a Cylon."

Former Quorum representative Cheryl Badth, Chair of the newly found Roslin Truth Squad, argued on a conference call sponsored by the campaign that Obama clearly directed the comment toward Roslin. "It is clear to me, as I am sure it will be to fair minded citizens, Military and Independents across the fleet that Sen. Obama owes Laura Roslin an apology," Badth said. A Roslin spokeswoman later added, “Obama’s comments today are offensive and disgraceful. He owes Laura Roslin an apology.”
